LIIAR: Liam Gallagher Q Magazine Contents Page

Language: Q magazine, rather than having the conventionally 1 page listed contents spreads its contents across two pages in order to create more of a visual appeal.  In the centre of the page most of the images are located, this is so that all of the written parts can be spread around this so that then when a reader is flicking through they will seer the edges of the contents page, making accessible while keeping a good graphic appeal throughout the magazine. It still has the month that the magazine is issued in the bottom right along with the Q logo and websites, the Q magazine website and a way to subscribe to the magazine. It uses red & white as a main colour scheme with black writing, this is consistent with the logo and the rest of the magazine.

Institution: Bauer media, whilst designing the magazine will always try to create a good, refined fel to it which helps to sell the magazine to older generations as it is formal in design and writing.

Ideology:  Q magazine’s contents wants to create  a contents which keeps with how the front cover appears, therefore here we have a lot of big stars or at least well renowned musicians, for example Bowie, Coldplay and Beyonce, showing that this magazine has only the best/best known artists, not just anyone. The spacious design of the contents helps to keep the magazine keep with its want to look refined and formal rather than just being a loose and unprofessional publication.

Audience: The contents is constructed in order to entice new readers rather than reinforce the old readers because they will know at least roughly where parts of the magazine are, so therefore won’t need this to tell them where to look for different parts of the magazine.

Representation: The contents continues the good representations which the cover started by looking formal and refined, this represtents the magazine well because it suites the vocabulary and grammatical choices displayed in the magazine and also the views because it uses prolific artists, unlike NME who, chances are, you won’t recognise them every week.
